About
Joe Lovano's tenor sax solo is the 11th of 25 on this recording, following Emmet Cohen's piano and followed by Joe Lovano on tenor sax. Spanning ten choruses of the 24-Bar form at an up-tempo 215 BPM with a swing feel in G, the solo runs approximately 4:27. The session showcases multiple facets of Lovano's artistry: his eight-chorus solo on his own Confirmation contrafact at 204 BPM in A-flat, a sixteen-chorus blues solo at 185 BPM, a ten-chorus exploration of his 24-bar original in G, and intimate ballad work on a Strayhorn-Ellington piece at 56 BPM in D-flat and Johnny Green's Body and Soul at 65 BPM. Joe Wrote this tune as a dedication to Dewey Redman and Ornette Coleman who were both from Fort Worth, Texas. Joe Lovano was 68 to 69 years old at the time of this 2021 recording.
